Finance (Local Property Tax and Other Provisions) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2025-06-25
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

The Deputy made reference to the Commission on Taxation and Welfare. I should point out that this commission recommended that we should not do what the Deputy is proposing. It said that "in the case of multiple property owners, a Local Property Tax surcharge should apply to properties not occupied as the principal private residence of the property owner or a registered tenant". The commission did actually look at something like that. I am sorry; I take it back. I am very happy to engage in that debate with the Deputy but, as I have said, I would like to do so in a different way than through a report required by legislation.
